Paul Thomas Anderson Reveals His Favorite Film of 2017 in Twitter Q&A

Phantom Thread director Paul Thomas Andersontook over his new film’s Twitter account ahead of the film’s nationwide expansion today, making each and every one of us wish that he had a Twitter to call his own. Over the course of the director’s four-hour Q&A (hashtagged #AskPTA), he shared a multitude of funny and informed opinions on pop culture (and food), heartening bits of advice for up-and-coming filmmakers, and hints as to what he has on tap next.

Of interest first and foremost was Anderson’s pick for the best film he saw in 2017: Luca Guadagnino’s acclaimed romantic drama Call Me By Your Name.
